Jordin Sparks opens up about the delivery of her first child

Jordin Sparks has opened up about the scary delivery of her first baby, a boy born recently on 2nd May.

Famed for her time on American Idol, the 28-year-old singer announced the birth of her first baby on social media, sharing a snap of the tot with her 1.6m followers on Instagram with the caption: ‘He’s here & we couldn’t be more in love!!! Go DJ!’

Jordin’s son, named Dana Isaiah Thomas Jr. and ‘DJ’ for short, was dressed in a little white hat with his new initials emblazoned on the front. The sweet snap of the sleeping newborn garnered over 260k likes and 7k comments.

While the couple are clearly delighted and relieved that their little boy is safe and healthy, Jordin has since revealed that her birth almost wasn’t as smooth as they had hoped, and her baby boy was born with his umbilical cord ‘wrapped around his neck and bod.’
